Adopt a Military Hero, Howard Countyâs Christmas for the Troops, is calling on volunteers to help wrap-up its annual drive to send gifts to deployed military personnel.

âWe have everything set up like an assembly line,â said Debbie Burrow, program coordinator. âWeâve already prepackaged boxes. We know what order they need to be packed in for it all to go there. Then they are sealed up and the post office picks them up on Friday.â
